Real life provided the Rothschilds with too much of everything-luck, power, possessions. As fiction, their story lacks only one thing: suspense. The Rothschilds played every trick; they also won every trick. Inside one generation, the founder's five sons resembled a hand whose jeweled fingers covered the map of Europe. In succeeding generations, while thrones toppled and nations faced bankruptcy, the Rothschilds went upward, always upward, and on. Their story becomes a magnificent seven-generation dinner slightly drowsy from its own great wines...
Last week in Madison Square Garden, Beatty was told by Coach Igloi, "Go out and run and see how it develops." Coach and Beatty expected a 4:02 or 4:03 would do the trick. But Beatty was tagged by Loyola Sophomore Tom O'Hara, who cut a startling 6.5 sec. off his own previous best time to keep up the blistering pace...
...dolt or a sadist. Nowhere does the film suggest that homosexuality is a serious (but often curable) neurosis that attacks the biological basis of life itself. "I can't help the way I am," says one of the sodomites in this movie. "Nature played me a dirty trick." And the scriptwriters, whose psychiatric information is clearly coeval with the statute they dispute, accept this sick-silly self-delusion as a medical fact...
...week began with an attempt to perform a prodigious trick: to spin five satellites into orbit with one rocket shot. It failed when the second stage of the Thor-Able-Star booster misfired. Two days later, there was an effort to land instruments on the moon. It went awry when its booster developed too much power; at best, scientists estimated, Ranger III might pass within 25,000 miles of the moon-close enough, perhaps, to send back some TV pictures of its surface. Then a handsome lieutenant colonel of the Marine Corps, John Glenn, 40, eased himself into his cramped...
Trapping a neutrino will be no mean trick. For the little particle is so small that it has no mass at all; it carries no electric charge and will be detectable only as a swiftly moving speck of energy. But the new Brookhaven spark chamber, designed by Drs. Leon Lederman, Melvin Schwartz and Jack Steinberger of Columbia University, has already proved to be remarkably sensitive. The spaces between its plates are filled with neon gas, and when alternate plates are charged with 10,000 volts of electricity, bright streams of sparks streak across the chamber at jagged angles. Those sparks...
